First half felt a bit rushed, bit of a whirlwind. 2nd half was quite engrossing and enjoyable.
7/10.
Cursed by it's predesessor being so good and unexpected. This one could never live up to the hype.

I think I agree with this to be honest. I found it hard, having watched the original so many times, to look at this as a stand-alone documentary. And that as you say is just due to the bar being set so high by Audi themselves.
I think it does a good job of telling the race story and beyond that, any documentary about Le Mans is going to be popular with me. It was a story that needed telling and I'm really glad they made it. A lasting document of my first trip to the race.

Wonderful news! Thanks for the links.
Watched it last night. I too thought it was a little rushed at the start; but the second half was a great portrayal of the race. I really connected with the three winning drivers and the post-race emotions came flooding back.
Jason Statham (or more likely the scriptwriters) needs to learn the difference between "less" and "fewer"; very annoying, that.

I thought it was awesome, but I am saddened.
No more Peugeot; it was such a great rivalry. I feel cheated as a fan by the Peugeot board.

Has anyone yet downloaded the video from AudiTV and converted it to DVD? I'm downloading now and I wondered about the quality?

Audi.tv quality seemed relatively fine. There seemed to be more compression (which is expected) but, I've no complaints in regards to image/sound quality.
As an aside, I enjoyed it. The dependence on footage used in the original was a little irritating. Enjoyable, none the less.

Streaming downloader - I use Wondershare Streaming Video Recorder. Switch it on, go to the web page on which the streaming video is playing and it will downoad it as an FLV file. I then use Ultra Video Joiner to convert that into DVD files (IFO, BUP and VOB) which I then convert again in DVD Shrink and burn to DVD with DVD Decrypter..... Simples.....

you probably won't, but in case you wonder who is the photographer outside the garage at 1:49, I guess you now know the answer

Nice film
Sweet that they give the Audi Peugeot battle such a fair treatment. (Could be a lot worse)

Nice that it is available on audi.tv, but it would be doubly nice if it was available in full HD in more nations. I could at least get an SD version of the first one from the Canadian iTunes store, but I can't even get that for this version. I will still watch it, of course, but my 1080p TV wants more love!
